Has anybody replaced the reflectors in their rear bumper? How much and is it an easy job?
I have just returned to my car and it seems I have had an anonymous impact with something / someone in the car park. Cliche - it was supermarket - so probably a trolly rather than car. Too dark to see if there's anything more serious - I'm hoping it it just the red reflector.

I saw a D3 recently with a missing reflector. Looked like they are just held on with sticky or clipped in. Would assume they just push on.

Thanks guys - I feel better now. It's the small things that irritate the most and the fact that nobody owned up to it.  D3 HSE V8...

Actually it's clip in reflector, I changed my rear bumber and I had to transfer the reflector and other things from the old bumber to the new one.
I did it the easy way from inside the bumber, not sure if it's easy from outside  '05 LR3 HSE V8 - Adriatic Blue - Larini Exhaust System - Lamp Guards - Dual battery system - Hidden 12k winch - Rasta Sump Guard

Hi, Q8LR3
Is your LR behaving well? In your LR3 description it says you've got a LArini exhaust system fitted to it. I wonder what happened to the cat and the o2 sensors, if they went crazy, or you are one of these lucky ones whose cars do not have to be fitted with thousands of electronic gizmos and sensors.
I just wonder what should be made to adapt a v8 lr3 to run on leaded fuel, if dropping cats and 02 sensors (and remapping the ECU to tell her there are no sensors to search).
Cheers,
Robert
P.S. Mossy sorry to hear about your reflector breaking. It's easy to change, as Q8LR3 said, however Regards, Robert

Hi robertofollia,
Actually my car is fine (almost) and it's running with the cats and oxygen sensors as stock, cause I have a cat-back system.
We don't have any leaded fuel in Kuwait but I don't care as I'm filling my car with 102 octane fuel.
But I heard that some new cars will have some problems if you run it with leaded fuel (ex. eng. valves) and will clog the cats, so be careful.
If you know someone who can make the remapping for my car please PM me the details.
